Arrowhead has released a new update for Helldivers 2. The previous patch resulted in a massive buff for the Quasar Cannon, and it also resulted in an unintended nerf for the Eruptor. While the HD2 Eruptor nerf isn’t alluded, the new Helldivers 2 update 01.002.202 patch notes do include a fix for the Quasar Cannon bug and more.
